here we present good vibrations, the debut ep on local talk from canadian producer orazio fantini. the best thing with this ep is that it is simply straight up house music that is both deep yet raw and funky all at the same time. basically, its very local talk ,) first track, to the ball, starts off with a bubbling bass line, followed with shuffling hi-hats and swinging beat that is glued together by glistering synth stabs, infectious to say the least. turn the record over for feel it, which showcases fantinis clever use of vocal samples blended together with the perfect swing and last not but not least, on hold is a stripped track but with all the necessary elements to make the feet move.

appointment008 is an extract of the seminal rehearsals of the appointment live act recorded on ferromagnetic tape. each side lasts a dozen of minutes and endorses the appointment live act innovative potential. the appointment live act is not grounded on prearranged phrase or patterns: every performance is unique and unrepeatable. marieu samples vinyls ad-lib and adds noises and blips with a little korg monster, john swing controls the delays and writes relentless drums on a tr-909, lucretio arranges emergent structured on an analogue sequencer,emg plays out this structures from an insurgent vermona perfourmer and explores the sonic spectrum with a german grainy filter. distortion, saturation, improvisation, breaks, funk and techno: the appointment live act goes beyond minimalism to reach out the inner functions of the waveforms transmission.

state is the debut from ore, this is techno deftly delivered. four original tracks showcasing an artist ready to make their mark plus remixes from darling farah and jon convex. a debut that stands out - state showcases an artist ready to make their mark. prime-time berghain techno functions are triangulated with detroit in 1987, birmingham in 1997 and london right now. the result is sumptuously textured asymmetric dance music. richly harmonic, expressionist techno that takes in pneumatic hi-tech funk, warehouse-maddening propulsive hydraulic and rarefied low frequency dub chords. complete with laboratory-precise edits, cold, crystalline sampling and skeletal machine effects ore recalls richie hawtins plastikman all the while keeping a rooted afro-rhythmic swing reminiscent of theo parrish with shuffling hi-hats, deep bass and strokes of barely-tamed percussion.

in a world in which upstart diy talent is flooding the gates of electronic music, a few recent voices have been so strong as to be startling. lapalux – aka 25-year-old stuart howard – is certainly one such. as singular as a brilliant artist always should be, his instinctive understanding of the atmospheric power of texture grips the ear immediately on listening. nostalchic is his debut album, mission statement, and the climax of many years of studying his craft. the amalgam of words that make the title is aptly, and perhaps knowingly chosen. the album evokes nostalgia without ever sounding nostalgic, and howard may have had his tongue in his chic when he added the second half of the title. the album is his most focused document to date, adding his beloved r&b and soul into elements of house and hip hop, all with the trademark lapalux finish, infectious, lopsided swing and achingly deep texture.

keeping with tradition, the second italojohnson release of 2012 once again presents itself in the likeliness of a 12inch wax with three tracks. the one-track mind repeats the same funk-nationalistic character of italojohnson and once more shows its simplicity. this tune comes to its rite where it is loud and dirty but even headz sitting at home will be able to feel the sun rise. boom shakalaka. the double-track side has some surprises in store for its listeners. for those in the know, the first track is also known as >bootytrack<. this track always pushes the low end to the limit and under the right circumstances guarantees some hip swing. number two may sound familiar, but even if you dont know its rootz, youll still be down with each other
